ROUND AND ABOUT WITH MARTHA
I don't know how many of
you viewed the gyrations of the
lake last Sunday,. but if you
did, you will agree, it was an
awesome and thrilling sight.
We certainly had.high winds
. and, .tn spots, a twister created
havoc, but watching the Lake
Huron waves just cast a spell
- on you. The roar and size of
them as they came crashing in,
pounding the shoreline to
pieces, made you feel pretty
helpless!
I have seen storm waves on
the Gulf of Mexico - they made
you shudder, - but I couldn't
believe Lake Huron was big
enough - or deep enough to
throw up waves almost as big
as those in the ocean.
All along the shoreline, trees
were washed out and the earth
undermined and dropping into
the water. It just made me sick
to see it. The cottagers have •
been dumping stones and
everything they,can find, in
front of their cotages to hold
that tiger, but it looks pretty
hopeless.

more, 1 laughed at one cute
blond teacher who moaned,
"Twenty-five - how will I ever
cope with -twenty-five!"
The first nite is always ex -
•citing or bewildering. I well
remember the year I decided to
take woodworking. When 1 en-
tered Mr. Mc -Gill's room and
looked around it looked like a
factory set 'up to me - but 1
wasn't worried, all I wanted
was to learn how to use the
small skil saws, etc. --- hand
tools.
You can, just imagine how I
felt -when we were introduced
to a giant jointer - planer -
machine, tall drill press, huge
bench saw, floor saw, band saw
- all kinds and shapes of saws;
intricate looking lathes and a
lot of other frightening things
especially when the power was
turned on.

experience with machinery

After three successful
American sailboat shows,
Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd. an-
nounced this week that it will
be exporting the major percen-
tage of its production of
Bayfield 23's and the recently
designed Bayfield 30 during the
coming year.
A spokesman for the boat
yard said that the unique
design and quality of the
Bayfield . yachts seems to be
responsible for the
gvewhelming acceptance they
have received at their recent
shows. '
Dealers have been set up
along the Great Lakes and the
Atlantic east coast as far south
at Annapolis, Maryland. The
new exposure of the Bayfield
.gyp.
yachts, Bayfield officials -sa
has sold out their production
for a 12 month .period and
should amount to a gross
production figure of $600;000 to
the United States alone, not
counting existing Canadian
business and dealers.
It is expected that during the
coming year Bayfield Boat
Yard Ltd. and -their Bayfield
yachts will be one of the most
popular and well known on the
North American continent. -
In -making the announcement
of extending sales areas the
Bayfield Boat Yard expressed
its thanks to all staff and local
suppliers of material who they
say have help to make the suc-
cess possible.
